Definitions

  • This invention relates to a surface fastener molded of thermoplastic resin by continuous injection or extrusion and having a plate-like substrate sheet and a multiplicity of engaging elements standing on one surface of the plate-like substrate sheet, and more particularly to a molded surface fastener in which a multiplicity of molded male engaging elements of synthetic resin and a multiplicity of female engaging elements in the form of fiber piles are formed on the same surface of said substrate sheet.
  • a surface fastener is currently known in which a multiplicity of hook- or mushroom-shape engaging elements of a monofilament and a multiplicity of loop elements of multifilaments mixedly stand from one surface of a substrate cloth.
  • This conventional art is exemplified by U.S. Pat. No. 5,231,738, in which the hook- or mushroom-shape engaging elements have a height less than the height of the loop elements in an effort to secure a desired rate of engagement and a good touch of the engaging surface.
  • thermoplastic resin is extruded to the gap between a rotating drum-shape die wheel, in which a multiplicity of mold disks and a multiplicity of spacer plates are laminated alternately, and a press roller, and a core sheet having a multiplicity of piles is introduced between the extruded resin and the press roller.
  • a core sheet having a multiplicity of piles is introduced between the extruded resin and the press roller.
  • part of the resin is penetrated into the core sheet by the pressing force of the press roller to integrate with the substrate and, at the same time, part of the resin is filled in hook-element-forming circumferential cavities of the die wheel to mold a multiplicity of hook elements.
  • the resulting surface fastener in which the core sheet is integrally attached to the substrate at its back surface opposite to the hook surface, is cooled while traveling through a predetermined angle along the circumferential surface of the die wheel following the rotation of the die wheel, whereupon the molded hook elements are pulled out of the cavities and, at the same time, the substrate is continuously peeled off the circumferential surface of the die wheel.
  • the surface fastener in which the core sheet is embedded in the substrate eccentrically toward the back side is revolved through a predetermined angle along the circumferential surface of the die wheel in one-way rotation and is then positively peeled off the circumferential surface of the die wheel under a predetermined tension.
  • the substrate is stretched as a relatively great pulling force is exerted on the substrate, apart from any deformation of the hook elements. Accordingly, in the core-sheet-free surface fastener, the substrate is stretched substantially uniformly on both the front and back sides.
  • the substrate is less extendible at the back , where the core sheet exists, and is more extendible at the front side, where the hook elements exist. Therefore, after completion of the molding, the surface fastener has different lengths at the front and back sides so that the surface fastener is curved convexly at the hook-element side and it is difficult to control the coefficient of extension of the front side, thus resulting in a non-uniform density of hook elements. In use, it is not only inconvenient when such surface fastener is attached to an objective good, but also a constant rate of engagement cannot be achieved to impair the quality of product.
  • a second object of the invention is to secure an adequate degree of toughness of the hook-element side of a plate-like substrate sheet of the surface fastener and to realize a highly precise density of hook elements.
  • a third object of the invention is to provide a molded surface fastener in which loop elements made of fibers and molded hook elements coexist, with the loop elements being given the napping process.
  • a surface fastener molded of synthetic resin comprising: a plate-like substrate sheet, a multiplicity of hook elements, and loop elements.
  • the hook elements are molded of a synthetic resin material integrally on one surface of the plate-like substrate sheet
  • the loop elements are composed of piles projecting from a pile woven or knit cloth.
  • at least part of a foundation structure of the pile woven or knit cloth is formed integrally with the substrate sheet simultaneously with the molding of the substrate sheet.
  • said hook elements and said loop elements are formed on the same surface of said plate-like substrate sheet.
  • the height of the hook elements is greater than the height of the loop elements unlike the conventional surface fastener disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,231,738 in which the hook elements are shorter than the loop elements.
  • the hook elements are molded of synthetic resin and not formed of monofilaments, the individual hook element has at its top a smoothly curved surface with no rough touch and is highly stable in shape, so that hook elements are easy to engage the loop elements in spite of the short loop elements as shown in FIG. 9 and the gap between the mating substrate sheets can be reduced to a minimum during engaging.
  • the foundation structure of the pile woven or knit cloth is a coarse woven or knit structure having pores large enough to pass molten resin material throughout its entire area.
  • the foundation structure of the pile woven or knit cloth is high in density at its pile areas and has a coarse woven or knit structure at the remaining areas coarse enough to pass molten resin material.
  • the hook elements and the loop elements may be arranged alternately in parallel predetermined regions on the one surface of the substrate sheet.
  • the pile woven or knit cloth to be used in this invention must have adequate pores for the passage of molten resin.
  • a molten resin pressure of 50 - 150 kg/cm 2 acts on the pile woven or knit cloth during the continuous injection.
  • the size of the pores in the cloth which allows the molten resin to smoothly pass through under this resin pressure is preferably at least 0.05 mm.
  • a desired mesh size may be obtained by changing the weave density and/or woven structure if the cloth is a woven cloth, the knit density and/or knit structure if it is a knitted cloth, and the mesh if it is a wire net.
  • the thickness of foundation structure of the pile woven or knit cloth is determined by the thickness of the substrate sheet of the surface fastener to be molded and its use; in view of facilitation of molding, however, the thickness of the foundation structure is preferably 20 - 60% of that of the substrate sheet. Accordingly, the size of yarns, wires or fibers of the foundation structure may be determined optionally by the required thickness of the foundation structure.
  • the surface fastener thus constructed is effectively manufactured by the following typical methods.
  • One typical manufacturing method is a continuous injection molding method in which a die wheel having in its circumferential surface a multiplicity of engaging-element-forming cavities is driven for one-way rotation and, at the same time, molten resin is continuously injected from a molten resin outlet of an injection die, which confronts the die wheel with a predetermined gap therebetween, to the circumferential surface of the die wheel by a predetermined width. Simultaneously, a coarse pile woven or knit cloth having piles on its one surface is continuously introduced into the gap between the die wheel and the molten resin outlet of the injection die. At that time, it is preferable to introduce the pile of woven or knit cloth with the pile surface in contact with the circumferential surface of the die wheel.
  • the circumferential surface of the die wheel has annular recesses spaced from the hook-element-forming cavities for receiving and guiding the pile surface.
  • the molten resin injected from the injection die toward the circumferential surface of the die wheel form the substrate sheet in the gap, and at the same time, part of the molten resin reaches the circumferential surface of the die wheel through the pores of the pile woven or knit cloth to embed the foundation structure of the pile woven or knit cloth in the molten resin injected from the injection die and to fill the hook-element-forming cavities to form hook elements. Then, while the circumferential surface of the die wheel is positively cooled by a cooling means to cool the molded surface fastener, the cooled molded surface fastener is continuously taken up from the circumferential surface of the die wheel.
  • Another typical manufacturing method is an extrusion molding method in which the die wheel having a multiplicity of engaging-element-forming cavities and annular recesses and a press roller confronting the die wheel with a predetermined gap are rotated synchronously in opposite directions. Simultaneously, molten resin is continuously extruded from an extrusion nozzle to the gap between the die wheel and the press roller by a predetermined width and, at the same time, the coarse pile woven or knit cloth is continuously introduced between the die wheel and the molten resin extruded from the extrusion nozzle.
  • the molten resin forms the substrate sheet in the gap by the pressing force of the press roller and, at the same time, part of the molten resin reaches the circumferential surface of the die wheel through the pores of the pile woven or knit cloth to embed the pile woven or knit cloth in the molten resin and to fill the hook-element-forming cavities to form hook elements. Then, while the circumferential surface of the die wheel is positively cooled by the cooling means to cool the molded surface fastener, the cooled molded surface fastener is continuously taken up from the circumferential surface of the die wheel.
  • the pile woven or knit cloth whose foundation structure is at least partly embedded in the substrate sheet serves to assist in peeling the molded surface fastener off the die wheel.
  • the substrate sheet formed on the circumferential surface of the die wheel is less extendible and is highly resistant against pull when the molded surface fastener is positively peeled off the circumferential surface of the die wheel after revolving along the rotation of the die wheel. Therefore, the pulling force acts effectively on the molded hook elements in the circumferential cavities of the die wheel so that the molded hook elements can be pulled out of the cavities without difficulty.
  • the hook-element-side surface of the substrate sheet is hardly stretched, there occurs no difference in stretch between the front and back sides of the substrate sheet so that the surface fastener does not become curved in one direction after molding and the hook elements are distributed uniformly, thus causing a high-quality surface fastener which is uniform in engaging strength is obtained.
  • FIG. 1 is a fragmentary vertical cross-sectional view of a continuous injection molding apparatus for manufacturing a molded surface fastener according to a first embodiment of this invention.
  • reference numeral 1 designates an injection die; an upper half surface of the distal end of the injection die is an arcuate surface 1a substantially equal in curvature to a die wheel 2 described below, and a lower half surface is an arcuate surface 1b having such a curvature as to define a predetermined gap with respect to the curved surface of the die wheel 2.
  • the injection die 1 is a T-shape die having a resin extrusion outlet 1d which is situated centrally of the upper and lower arcuate surfaces 1a, 1b and from which molten resin 4 is injected in a sheet form under a predetermined molten resin pressure.
  • the injection die 1 has a single molten resin runner 1c extending centrally.
  • the die wheel 2 has a circumferential surface partially adjacent to the upper arcuate surface 1a of the injection die 1 and is spaced from the lower arcuate surface 1b by the predetermined gap, with its axis parallel to the extrusion outlet 1d of the injection die 1.
  • a number of hook-element-forming cavity sets 5 are arranged on the circumferential surface of the die wheel 2, adjacent cavity sets being spaced by a predetermined distance in a direction parallel to the axis of the die wheel 2 to define therebetween an annular recess 16.
  • the basic structure of the die wheel 2 is substantially identical with the structure disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,775,310 with slight modification and is hence described here only briefly.
  • the die wheel 2 is in the form of a hollow drum having a water cooling jacket 2a, and in each cavity set portion, a number of die rings and a number of spacer rings are laminated alternately along the axis of the hollow drum as shown in FIG. 2.
  • Each of the die rings has on circumferential edges a multiplicity of hook-element-forming cavities 5a with their bases opening to the circumferential surface of the die ring.
  • Each of the spacer rings has on each of the front and back sides a flat surface.
  • Each annular recess 16 is composed of a number of laminated rings, having a predetermined outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the die rings of each cavity set 5.
  • the die wheel 2 is driven, by a non-illustrated known synchronous drive unit, to rotate in a direction indicated by an arrow.
  • a pile woven or knit core sheet (hereinafter called “the pile core sheet”) S drawn from a roll is introduced to the gap between the upper arcuate surface 1a of the injection due 1 and the circumferential surface of the die wheel 2 via a tension adjuster 3 after contacting part of the circumferential surface of the die wheel 2.
  • a cooling water tank 10 is situated under the die wheel 2 with a lower portion of the die wheel 2 being soaked in the cooling water tank 10.
  • a guide roller 9 is situated diagonally upwardly of the cooling water tank 10, and a set of upper and lower take-up rollers 6, 7 rotating at a speed slightly higher than the rotating speed of the die wheel 2 is situated in front of the guide roller 9.
  • the pile core sheet S to be used in this embodiment has a number of pile regions S1 of a predetermined width and a number of coarse mesh regions S2 of a predetermined width arranged alternately in the transverse direction as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the foundation structure of each pile region S1 is woven or knitted of fiber at a high density so as not to allow molten resin 4 to pass through, and the coarse mesh region S2 is devoid of piles and is woven or knitted of fiber so as to have pores for the passage of molten resin 4.
  • a pile surface of the pile regions S1 of the pile core sheet S is treated with a napping process. Therefore, the pile surface acquires greater flexibility, and the multifilament piles consisting loop elements 15 have various loop directions so that the engaging rate with mating hook elements 4b increases.
  • the fiber material is thermoplastic resin as exemplified by nylon, polyester and polypropylene or metal wire.
  • thermoplastic synthetic resin for the surface fastener and the fiber material are preferably the same, they may be different.
  • the size of the fibers, fiber yarns or metal wires of the pile core sheet S is determined by the required thickness of the pile core sheet S. Further, the thickness of the pile core sheet S, which is determined depending on the thickness of the substrate sheet 4a of the surface fastener, is usually preferably 20 - 60% of the thickness of the substrate sheet 4a.
  • the molten resin temperature, molten resin pressure, die wheel temperature and rotational speed of the die wheel are adjusted as a matter of course.
  • the required molten resin pressure is usually in the range of 50 - 150 kg/cm 2 , preferably 80 - 110 kg/cm 2 .
  • the height of the hook elements 4b is greater than that of the loop elements 15 unlike the surface fastener disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,231,738 in which the hook elements are shorter than the loop elements.
  • the hook elements are formed by cutting part of monofilament loops that are formed simultaneously with the weaving or knitting of the surface fastener, so that the cut remainings projecting from the foundation structure and possible burrs formed when cutting would give an uncomfortable touch during the engaging.
  • the loop elements are higher than the hook elements.
  • the hook elements 4b are molded of synthetic resin and not formed of monofilaments, the individual hook element 4b has at its top a smoothly curved surface with no rough touch and is highly stable in shape, so that hook elements are easy to engage the loop elements 15 in spite of the short loop elements 15 as shown in FIG. 9 and the gap between the mating substrate sheets 3 can be reduced to a minimum during engaging.
  • the molten resin 4 to be continuously injected from the injection die 1 at a predetermined molten resin pressure is continuously forced into the gap between the injection die 1 and the rotating die wheel 2.
  • the pile core sheet S is guided with the piles being received in the annular recesses 16 of the die wheel 2, and part of the molten resin penetrates into the foundation structure of the pile regions S1 at the injection-outlet side, while part of the molten resin 4 is extruded onto the circumferential surface of the die wheel 2 through the pores of the coarse mesh regions S2, filling in the hook-element-forming cavities 5a successively to form hook elements 4b as the molten resin 4 is expanded uniformly over the circumferential surface of the die wheel 2.
  • the molten resin 4 remaining on the injection outlet of the injection die 1 and the expanded molten resin 4 are fused with the component material of the pile core sheet S to form the substrate sheet 4a having a predetermined thickness.
  • the pile core sheet S keeps traveling around the circumferential surface of the die wheel 2 as it is forced thereagainst under molten resin pressure. Therefore, in the manufacturing method of this embodiment, it is unnecessary to intentionally force the pile core sheet S against the circumferential surface of the die wheel 2 while introducing; namely, as it is introduced into the above-mentioned gap merely with a just slack-free tension, the pile core sheet S is necessarily forced against the circumferential surface of the die wheel 2 so that the pile core sheet S is embedded in the substrate sheet 4a of the molded surface fastener eccentrically toward the hook-element-surface side or front-surface side as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the molten resin 4 shaped into the surface fastener on the circumferential surface of the die wheel 2 travels around substantially a half of the circumferential surface of the die wheel 2 as guided by the guide roller 9. During that time, the molten resin 4 is cooled from the inside of the die wheel 2 and is further cooled while passing through the cooling water tank 10 so that the substrate sheet 4a, in which the pile core sheet S is embedded, integrally with the hook elements 4b becomes gradually hard.
  • the pile-core-sheet-embedded-side surface of the substrate sheet 4a does not extend even if it is pulled away from the circumferential surface of the die wheel 2, so that the front and back surfaces of the substrate sheet 4a have no difference of extension, thereby making the surface fastener free from curving in one direction after being removed from the die wheel 2. Accordingly, the uniform engaging strength and a uniform density of hook elements can be achieved over the entire surface of the surface fastener, and the individual hook elements 4b can be pulled out of the cavities 5a smoothly as they resiliently deform.
  • the hook elements 4b restore their original shape to become completely hard and, the surface fastener on which the multifilaments consisting of the loop elements 15 face various directions, is molded, as shown in FIG. 4F.
  • the napping process is not treated to the pile core sheet S beforehand, all filaments of the multifilament loop elements 15 face almost the same direction, as shown in FIG. 4B.
  • the upper and lower take-up rollers 6, 7 synchronously rotating in opposite directions are used.
  • the circumferential surfaces of these take-up rollers 6, 7 may be smooth but preferably have circumferential grooves for receiving the hook elements 4b so as not to damage them.
  • the rotational speed of the take-up rollers 6, 7 is slightly higher than that of the die wheel 2 in such a manner that the hook elements 4b can be removed smoothly off the hook-element-forming cavities 5a.
  • the pile core sheet S is embedded in the substrate sheet 4a eccentrically toward the hook-element-surface side, it is possible to give the substrate sheet 4a adequate toughness both longitudinally and transversely so that products of uniform quality can be obtained as mentioned above.

  • FIG. 8 shows a surface fastener in which the rows of hook elements 4b and the loop elements 15 are alternately arranged in the longitudinal direction of the substrate sheet 4a.
  • each pile core sheet S must have a coarse foundation structure having adequate pores enough to allow molten resin 4 to pass through, and the piles must be formed in a predetermined arrangement and at predetermined intervals.
  • the die wheel 2 has a number of pile-receiving recesses 16 in the circumferential surface at positions corresponding to the piles and a multiplicity of hook-element-forming cavities 5a between adjacent recesses 16.
  • the distance of the recesses 16 and the hook-element-forming cavities 5a are determined according to the pile distance of the pile core sheet S.
  • FIGS. 4A through 4F shows various modified surface fasteners in which the hook elements 4b and the loop elements 15 coexist on the same substrate sheet.
  • FIG. 4B schematically shows a cross-sectional structure of the surface fastener manufactured by the apparatus of FIGS. 1 and 5.
  • FIG. 4D schematically show a cross-sectional view of the surface fastener shown in FIG. 7.
  • the pile core sheet S of FIG. 4A For manufacturing the surface fastener having a cross-sectional structure of FIG. 4A, the pile core sheet S of FIG.
  • the injection die 1 has a number of injection outlets 1d transversely spaced at regular distances to meet the hook-element-forming cavity sets 5, and alternatively in the case of extrusion molding, a number of circumferentially extending annular lands are arranged at predetermined spaces in a direction parallel to the axis of the press roller to meet the respective sets of loop elements 15.
  • the pile core sheet S has a small width, and the pile region S1 is located centrally in the direction transverse of the pile core sheet S while a pair of transversely spaced coarse mesh regions S1 are located at opposite sides of the pile region S1, and other manufacturing conditions are the same as those for the surface fastener of FIG. 4A.
  • the hook elements and the loop elements are formed on the same surface of the substrate sheet.
  • the individual hook element 4b has a reinforcing rib 4c on each of the opposite side surfaces.
  • the individual hook elements 4b are oriented in a common direction in the same row and are oriented in opposite direction in adjacent rows.
  • the reinforcing ribs 4c which may be omitted, are effective in preventing the hook elements 4b from falling sideways.
  • adjacent hook elements 4b in the same row may be oriented alternately in opposite directions. With this arrangement, a surface fastener which does not have direction in engaging force can be obtained.
  • a molded surface fastener in which at least part of foundation structure of the pile core sheet is embedded in the substrate sheet in a single molding step rather than in a plurality of meticulous molding steps, and the obtained surface can secure adequate toughness in the longitudinal and transverse directions at the same time. Further, during the molding, there is no extension difference between the front and back surfaces of the substrate sheet when the surface fastener is peeled off the circumferential surface of the die wheel, and therefore the density of hook elements would be uniform over the entire area so that high-quality products excellent in size precision and having a uniform engaging strength can be achieved.
  • the pile core sheet is manufactured by weaving or knitting, it is possible to change the design of the pile core sheet in arrangement and orientation of piles and to determine the size, shape or arrangement of hook elements optionally. It is accordingly possible to cope instantly with various requirements for the surface fastener in which hook and loop elements coexist.
  • the pile core sheet S is manufactured in a process different from this molding process of the surface fastener and the pile surface of the pile core sheet S is not influenced by the molding resin, so that it is possible to treat the pile surface with the napping process prior to the molding of the surface fastener, thus the engaging rate of the product improves.
  • the height of the hook elements is greater than that of the loop elements, since the hook elements are molded of synthetic resin and not formed of monofilaments so that the individual hook element has at its top a smoothly curved surface with no rough touch and is highly stable in shape, hook elements are easy to engage the loop elements in spite of the short loop elements and the gap between the mating substrate sheets can be reduced to a minimum during engaging.
